I would like to abolish CPS and train and fund local law enforcement in genuine child neglect and abuse cases. That way, we would not have a full-time governmental agency that abuses constitutional rights involved at all. Parents should have full sovereignty over the medical decisions for their children.

Regarding Licensing of Holistic Practitioners

A license is a grant of permission, and I think the free market ought to be used to discern the qualifications of naturopaths and other wholistic practitioners. Then, leave it to the wholistic healthcare industry to create their own industry standards and private industry board certifications by which they certify the qualifications of their practitioners.

Citizens are due as much information as possible from their governmental agencies regarding any and all health and safety notification. Rights are not granted by government, government protects the inalienable rights of the individual.

Regarding denied treatment for a gravely ill child

Gravely ill is different than intentional harm and laws are in place to address the later. Having said this, as a Christian who believes God has given us an intellect, He has provided a means to alleviate many situations where grave illnesses had no medical remedy. Faith and Reason are complimentary, not incompatible.

Children deserve to be raised, protected, and represented by their loving parents, without government interference. When it comes to raising children, parents know best. As a mom of four children - all with different interests, dislikes, needs and personalities, I know that there is no one-size-its-all method to parenting. Parents have a vital and irreplaceable role in the physical, mental, emotional well-being of their children. As a senator, I will work tirelessly to protect children by empowering parents. I believe that each person, parent, and guardian should be free to choose how to maintain wellness and treat illness. I am committed to promoting and preserving the right to access the healing and heal care, information, and services that Idahoans deem necessary for their own health and survival. I will protect the unalienable human right to self determination in all aspects of health freedom, parental rights,informed consent at the individual level, and the freedom to choose the modality of health and healing.

I am always in favor of informed consent and disclosure. However, in the case of a private company putting up towers or devices on their own property, they certainly have a right to do so. So it depends on whether this is a private company or government entity installing this type of potentially dangerous equipment. Any time state or local government installs anything, it should absolutely be only after informed consent and disclosure has taken place.

Regarding Holistic Licensing

Licensing is nothing more than being forced to ask government permission to practice your trade. And not only that, but being forced to pay the government to allow it, once they approve. I think there is a false sense of security in licensing, and that the free market is capable of regulating professionals more appropriately.

The people have the right to know what and how any product will affect there body. The public has the right to know and weigh in on any service, product or action on the part of the government will affect there well being.

Regarding the rights of citizens and government

Government has no "rights". All rights are inherent in citizens. The government has a duty to keep citizens apprised as to risks dangers of anything that might adversely affect their health or safety. Citizens have a right so such information.

Validated graduation from an appropriate educational institution with an appropriate course of study should be adequate license.We do want some displayed competency on the subject as well as honest disclosure.

Regarding the rights of citizens and the government

The role of government is not to protect people from themselves, but to protect people from the unscrupulous. How a parent raises their child, as long as it does not endanger their child's right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, or place others at risk, should not be dictated by the state.Understanding that group consensus in communities is all that would be required for city or county spraying in mosquito abatement or similar conditions to occur, health aware families may want to move to communities more amenable to their wishes.

The parental rights and responsibilities are not to be ended, they again are natural rights, the heath dept. nor CPS have parental rights delegated to them.

Regarding Informed Consent and the rights of citizen.

I believe we have been given Maximum Liberty to utilize ones own rights, whether personal or parental, as given by our creator, to use our freedom balanced with morality, and all the responsibilities that are tied to that. That said, it is our responsibility not our governments, to keep ourselves as completely informed with unbiased (special interest agendas withheld) information, so we can make educated decisions for our families, as issues come up.
